XML Types and Databases
XML is becoming more important and more data are exchanged in XML format. That's why the definition of XML structures is increasingly important. During this course some interesting techniques (that increase the development of optimal XML definitions) are presented. The emphasis lies on the exchange of data rather than on text formats. In this course problem validation is also treated in detail. Document Type Definition (DTD) has many restrictions in the use of namespaces, datatypes, reuse, ... A possible solution is the new proposition of W3C XML Schema which has more possibilities than its predecessor.
What you will learn
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- describe the elements they have to take into account for the development of XML structures
- distinguish the advantages of XML Schema (compared with DTDs)
- use XML Schema.
Who Should Attend
Analysts and analyst-programmers and all those interested in XML Schema and its advantages.
Prerequisites
A thorough knowledge of XML (XML, DTD, XPATH, XSLT) is required. Also a basic knowledge of a relational model is important.
